Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom is rooted in practical experience and exists for the purpose of helping one live a better life. Philosophy cannot exist without practicality.

C. S. Lewis: There are people in this world, if one may call them “people,” who still mention this swine in the same breath with Tolkien. Don’t do this. I don’t want to hurt you, but just DON’T DO IT. Tolkien’s accomplishment was best summed up by the comment that he “made himself the creative equivalent of a people.” That’s a bit modest, really, because Tolkien became several peoples, became the entire mind of Dark-Ages Europe. C. S. Lewis, who was an unworthy colleague and a treacherous friend of Tolkien’s, is Tolkien’s polar opposite in every way that matters. Tolkien was an actual English Catholic—born to it, doomed to it, unlike the poser Greene. Ever wonder why Gandalf’s named Gandalf, and why God(s) are not mentioned in Lord of the Rings? Tolkien had to be quiet. Tolkien was a man of honor, who married without love because he had made a promise; he and his wife stayed together in the grim Catholic way and raised five children. Tolkien was a true scholar, a preeminent Anglo-Saxonist and pan-European linguist. Lewis remained a little boy, a pompous little prig, all his life. He was a smug Belfast “Christian,” full of the proper hatred and sense of superiority; he lived at home until seduced by a middleaged groupie in late middle age, and when she died, discovered that he’d been wrong to tell everyone that God sent us pain for our own good. Having experienced actual pain for the first time at the age of sixty, this moralizing infant was vouchsafed the epiphany that pain HURTS. He was shocked. He felt that God needed to rethink the whole matter. And let’s not forget that dear old wardrobe, and Narnia. Narnia vs. Middle Earth. Gee, there’s a tough one! Narnia is one of the most sick, inept fantasies ever devised. It has the treacly tendentiousness of a fairytale for a sundayschool course, the sort of thing pedophile curates use to explain the Trinity to the kids they’re cuddling, making up cute animals while letting their hands stray southward. That’s where Narnia lies: Yon, southward! between the child’s legs and the curate’s twitchy fingers.
most of this shit is products by atheists, you have to go at the very least before secular enlightenment, but it's even better to go before Judaism rose.

You won't find the real stuff in books nor search engines. The closest you can get to it is my man Plato. Otherwise, you're completely on your own if you want the arcanest of arcane.
I'll save you some time. You're either going to go schizophrenic and have a nice day, or realise Jesus was actually right this whole time. Cut to the end.

What a terrible way to chronical your media use
>chronical
I never found philosophy interesting at all.
It gives you new perspectives. Oh, and practical philosophy (political, ethics, decision making, etc) is really handy.
Any field without a "meta" in the name doesn't interest me.
>practical
>philosophy
A contradiction in terms
Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom is rooted in practical experience and exists for the purpose of helping one live a better life. Philosophy cannot exist without practicality.
More for the rest of us, I guess. I don’t find much fiction compelling either so I guess the feeling is mutual.
same i havent read a single profound thing that i didnt already know from excessive internet usage.
Same. I prefer prose fiction and poetry. Philosophy isn't literature.
That’s fine, I don’t really like literature
